Post Australian Slang Primer 
 
Mr. Jones is a  "Banana Bender" according to what I researched about Australian Slang.
Some interesting slang :

beyond the Black Stump - a long way away
Bondi cigar or brown-eyed mullet  - a turd in the sea  
Bush oyster - a nose booger
Crack a fat ( I'll let you look that one up yourself)  
Dingo's breakfast - a yawn, a leak, and a good look around (i.e. no breakfast)
Dunny budgie - a blowfly
Aussie Salute - brushing flies away
Shark biscuit - somebody new to surfing  

There are also  many slang terms that parallel what we use in the U.S. and
here in Canada.

That's great Den. You're learning a new language  

Made me laugh out loud this morning and I felt like a bloody 'drongo', struth!

 

Bit different to the Canadian's, 'eh?'

I have read the entire list of Australian slang and a lot of them are
quite funny to me.
I like the shark bisquit and now Den keeps asking me if I'm having
the Dingo Breakfast because I am not a breakfast person.
A cup of tea in the morning is about it.
I know, I know, breakfast is the most important meal of the day

Okay, I guess breakfast is over. I've yawned, taken a leak and had me tea.

Hee Hee
